1  and  1/2 cups white sugar

1/2  cup light brown sugar

1  teaspoon nutmeg

1  teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2  teaspoon ground ginger

1/4  teaspoon ground cloves

Combine all dairy into a saucepan along with all the sugar. 

Split and scrape the vanilla beans into the dairy and sugar mixture. 

Bring to 170 degrees F. to dissolve sugar then let cool to room temperature. 

Once cooled completely, chill in the refrigerator overnight. 

NOTES:

When cooking diary on a stovetop - be VERY watchful!  It can erupt like a volcano-science-experiment up and out of your saucepan! Stir constantly and check the temperature often.

IF  USING  LIQUID  VANILLA  AS  A  SUBSTITUTION:  

Add vanilla AFTER sugar is dissolved and mixture is removed from heat.

Combine pumpkin and add the listed spices. 

Mix in a bowl to combine, then cover and chill overnight in the refrigerator. 

The next day, take pumpkin and dairy mixture out. 

Filter dairy mixture to remove large vanilla bean pieces. 

Add some of the dairy mixture to the pumpkin and mix well to loosen it up. 

Then combine both the dairy mixture and pumpkin mixture together thoroughly. 

Freeze in your ice cream freezer according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Let the ice cream harden for at least two hours unless serving immediately.
